I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

In recent years, Vocaloid songs have become widely recognized across many age groups.

Many creators—such as YOASOBI, Kenshi Yonezu, Eve, Yorushika, Yoh Kamiyama, and TOOBOE—have expanded their activities while engaging with Vocaloid, and there are plenty of singers who first gained popularity through “utaite” covers of Vocaloid tracks.
